You have a great establishment! Please fix the TVs and upgrade to current standards...dont be a cheap a@@!

We are new to the area and have eaten here twice so far. I have gotten the Cheesy Bacon Cowboy Burger both times and can honestly say, I'll probably never order anything different, because it's that GOOD! The atmosphere of this place is unlike anything I've been to before. Highly recommend this place! Plus the movie theater is connected to the restaurant, so it's a true dinner and a movie place. read more

Love the fried pickles and feature presentation ! My husband brings me here when we want a local date/date night.

Great place. I went here last summer when I saw Captain America Civil War. As I got there way early, I was pleasantly surprised that this new to me lounge was here. I hadn't been to the Helm Cinema for several years; nothing personal but I had been slammed with work for the past several years. As I saws this place after getting my movie ticket, I went here to have a drink or 2 & get a bite to eat before the movie. This lounge is really high end without being snooty. Good selection of beers on tap & in the coolers. Great food; I had a Philly cheese steak sandwich which was great. Great staff there who are very attentive without being annoying. Nice addition to the area without having to go to Tacoma or Olympia for a nice time. read more

Amazing food and staff, in a perfect location. Almost all of the menu items are amazing! The bartenders are awesome people. Most of the wait staff are superior. Besides one or two bogus staff, this place is a must go! All of my friends and family love going there for food, drink and fun. If you are anywhere near Yelm, try this place out immediately! read more

Very cool place. Alex our bartender was great with the blood orange margaritas. The Stewart's Meat NY steak, medallions, and chicken quesidillas were all awesome. Of course this was over two nights there. If visiting Yelm stay at the Prairie Hotel and dine at Uptown. read more

My fiance and I haven't went out on date in months, today we decided to go to dinner at UPTOWN. It was amazing! We've already planned another trip. Great food, great service what more could you want? I love the fact they get there steaks locally. read more

I love the atmosphere and friendly, attentive service we received on date night at Uptown Lounge. We enjoyed the deconstructed crab rangoon appetizer and shared the Quad-B burger. Both menu items satisfied our palettes and appetites. The popcorn bowl that greeted us when we entered was a cute touch. Thank you! We will be back. read more

The food is awesome!! Have not had anything yet that's not be great!!!l love the furniture and atmosphere

Wow, so much better than we expected. The food was awesome. Way more food than we expected when we ordered. The waitress was nice and attentive but when we first arrived she seemed to be the only one waiting on tables. We ordered the truffle fries, a jalapeno popper burger, and a ceasar salad. Also a few drinks. The huckleberry margarita was tasty, and the beer was crisp and cold. The atmosphere was nice, and for the experience and quality of food, our dinner was fairly priced. Awesome dinner and a movie spot. read more

My wife and I have now gone here on two occasions and both times the food has been great and the service better. It has a great atmosphere and they do a really good job on their burgers and salads. read more

great service they are also responsible and cut you off after 7 long island iced teas :) lol

Maybe the first "upscale" lounge in Yelm. Drinks & Food are moderately priced ($4-$15) and served in a unique "Vintage movie" atmosphere. It is co-located in the same building as Yelm Cinemas. While the theater and the lounge serve different menu's, you cannot finish your meal (or drink) while watching a movie...very strange as it would appear to be a "Win/Win" for everyone. If they could figure out the food/sharing situation at least so patrons could finish their meal during the movie...that would be a major improvement. read more

Crappy service. Good happy hour deals. Server tried to remember our order, forgot part of it. Flagged down other server because original server no where to be found. Never came back to ask about refills on drinks but did eventually ask if we wanted dessert. When asked for the check the server took her time serving another table for quite a while, cleared some glasses at the bar and then decided to print and serve our check to us. They weren't that busy at the time. I might go back for happy hour just because of the deals but I would sit at the bar where I don't have to wait for a server. read more

This place is the fanciest place in Yelm. The food is great has a good presentation and price is more than fair (about red robin prices). The bar is nice too would like to see energy drinks so that we have options for a few other drinks or else this place would be 5 star. read more

Besides that's it's super busy in the evenings, i love this place. Great food, amazing drinks! It's a great place to go to on a date with my husband and then watch a movie. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it because no kids are allowed in there but honestly I'm okay with it now. It's okay to be without my child and go have a good time :) read more

This pace has really comfortable seating. The food was decent I had the chicken burger it was a little dry but not enough to complain about. really liked how the bun was stamped. The Bartender was nice and made a drink she had never made before which was pretty good. On the other hand my wife had a margarita which was way too sour. Service was good so she sucked it up and didn't say anything.. read more

Good food and drinks. Hot fresh homemade potato chips are soooo good. Very good all around. And no kids allowed which is wonderful.

Our Culture and the statement from the Uptown Lounge in Yelm is on their Webpage, what it says is: When you visit the Uptown Lounge you get it all: an incredible decorated space, freshly prepared dishes with homemade ingredient, and a wide selection of martinis, margaritas and other specialty drinks. What it does not say on this web page is you do truly get it all, to include absolute dismal service. my wife and I were seated, given menus as the waitress took our drink orders, which were delivered after 15 minutes and sat for another 15 minutes while the wait staff and hostess chatted with friends and patrons, long engaging chats. Servers and hostess not inclined to ask if you are ready to order, six tables counting ours as we were seated, two paid and left while we waited. Family members tell us they stopped going there because of the dismal service. Robert Irvine would have a field day with a beaneries staff that was so dis-interested in their patrons, for they really could care less about the patronage from what we experienced. The staff may have been of legal age to serve alcoholic beverages but it was apparent there were no adults in charge of the venue. So typical of Yelm too, you get mostly lousy food at the few eateries there are which is why the Uptown Lounge was a breath of fresh air when it opened. This place started out great but has arrived at the south side of the pinnacle of the bell curve and is in a ramped and steep decline. Save your money, drive to Lacey if you want to find a good restaurant, the Uptown Lounge in Yelm is not up to the challenge. read more

We love this place! Great drinks! Good food and atmosphere. Bring back the Thai burger, it was sooooo good! Would like to see a better dessert menu the fruity pebbles cheese cake doesn't do it for me. Def our hang out spot in town! read more

Food is really good (especially the Street Tacos) but I have had better drinks (rather overpriced for the quality). I would still go back, as the food is that good. read more

Great place. Great food. Great service. Great people. Much higher quality than I anticipated. We will be returning for sure.

I get their Thai chili wings and a slice of chocolate cake every time I come in! They're so good!

Good food and service! The drinks and bartenders are also fantastic! My favorite is their southwest chicken salad! Yum!!

I have been here multiple times in the short time it has been open.I have not been disappointed. The service has been excellent every time. The food is great. The street tacos are my favorite! Love the fun drinks. Purse hooks at the bar. The little touches do not go unnoticed. Love the fun chairs and seating but I do wish it was easier to eat, some of the tables are awkward. I also wish I could order my food (street tacos) and take it to the movie with me. Concession cashier so rude when I asked. Thought since it was right there...??? I Will Keep going back. read more

Very nice bar, seems out of place in Yelm. This could be my new go to place for a drink after work.

Used to be our favorite place and we were regular weekend visitors, but now it is just hit or miss depending on who the server or bartender is. Loved Josh and Jolene, and we left for quite a time after they quit. We decided to give the place another try months ago and actually walked out due to poor service. Waited another spell and again were pleased with the staff, Brandon, Jennifer and Kelsey, who made our visit enjoyable. The cook Antonio is always consistent and we love the food! Today, our server, Chris went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of but the bartender, Mickey had a could care less attitude. She never made eye contact with us, or even acknowledged our presence! Our drinks sat for in indefinite amount of time as she could not be bothered to bring them to us despite Chris being busy elsewhere. Evidently, she thought being on her personal phone, ( at least 4 times during our visit) was more important. And, who wants to pay top price for a drink that is 1 1/2 inches from the top! We were the first ones in an hour after the 11 AM opening, so being too busy is not an excuse! Spending 60 to 80 bucks to have a lunch out should be more enjoyable than going for a root canal. If you are having a bad day, fake it, if you don't want to be there, quit. People go out to spend their hard earned money to have a good time. Thank you Chris for taking care of us despite your co worker's poor attitude. I blame the owners.... Uptown! If your employees are happy...they stay. We have favorite spots where our servers/bartenders are 10 to 20 year employees. This is how you keep your patrons coming back and not just bring in one time visitors. read more

Love this place! Happy hour ricks the food and drinks. Try the sweet and spicy flat bread or the pulled pork sliders or the, well you will just have to try it for yourself. Our server Autumn rocked it too. She remembered us from the week before. I would give them a 5 Star but they aren't 100% on the service. read more

No signs from the movie theater that say 21 and older. Rediculous location for a 21 and up. Over priced and not worth your time. There is no seating in the lobby of the theater so you are forced to congregate to the bar. Good idea maybe but when you have a family this is a stupid idea. read more

My boyfriend took me to the uptown lounge to see a movie, and I felt like it was Disneyland for a second. Movie prices were very reasonable unlike most theaters, and the all you can eat popcorn was definitely a crowdpleaser. It is a new favorite place of mine. Highly recommend it. read more

So I took my wife out here last night and we have been here numerous times since they opened. Normally the service and food is really good. That has not been the case the last two times we have been. Last night was almost horrible. The service was basically nonexistent. There was only four other tables with people at them so it wasn't like they were busy. Our waitress was too busy flirting with a table of two men to even bring my wife ranch that she asked for twice. The manager spent the entire night talking to the tall guy that finally greeted us when we walked in and the only person doing their job was the bartender, like normal (probably the best bartender in the area by the way and only way they get two stars). Food was ok but not to the normal standards either. I always try to give a good place three strikes before I write them off and stop going so I really hope The Uptown Lounge fixes itself as it used to be the best place in town. read more

WOW!! Our second time coming out to this AWESOME place! This time, we came on a Sat. night for a dinner and movie! We came about an hour before the movie started and the place was PACKED! Luckily, there was just ONE table left and we got sat at a small round table by a chair and couch...interesting arrangement of furniture and selection...in our little squared off area, there were 4 small round tables each with their own couch and side chair. So it was perfect for me and hubby to eat at...we ordered an appetizer of the Artichoke and Spinach Dip with the Bread slices and it was SOOOO good! We could of easily just had this app and a drink and been FULL! We did order the burgers and fries...Hubby got the Jalopenio Burger and I the Thai burger but we just ended up boxing them up whole and took them into the movie with us we were SOO full! I thought i would eat during the long 3 hr movie but we were still full fro the appetizer! DELISH!! I love the atosphere here and love seeing the place full of people enjoying themselves...this is an awesome place to come for food, drinks and to relax and spend time with friends and family! So glad Yelm has this awesome place! The only problem is PARKING! There was NO place to park! The place was FULL all in the front and full even in the back areas! Hubby had to drive around a bit and wait for someone to leave! BUT, this just means how awesome everyone thinks this place is! Going to come back for a Chocolate Martini next time we are out! This is now my number 1 favorite restraunt in Yelm followed by Garden to Gourmet! You will NOT be disappointed! read more

The quality of food is ok but the service is not that great. You go there before a movie and it could take a long time to get your food; meaning you need to head to your movie. And then the theater won't let you bring your to go box into the movie theater. It wasn't our fault it took so long to get our meal. Then the prices are a little to high; so I usually find another place to go to eat before I go to the theater. If they would up their customer service, and lower the prices a bit, this could be a great place to eat and drink. read more

My husband and I hung out and ate at the bar for a while before our movie. We really liked the food (All American Burger and the Southwest Chicken Salad), and the service was awesome. We sat at the bar, and while it was very busy tonight, the bartenders were very attentive, always making sure that our drinks were refilled. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I love the Uptown Lounge. It's hands down my favorite place in Yelm. I've lived here for a year and honestly think that it is in a whole tier higher than the rest of places to get a drink or meal in Yelm read more

I would give 2.5 stars but I feel there is potential in this place. Very smart to have in a movie theatre. Great atmosphere and our service was good. I recommend NOT ordering a drink with ginger beer in it. They make their own (don't get why) and it's not good. Our Moscow Mules were undrinkable and our waitress was really nice about taking them back. The next round of drinks were good. (Stuck with easy Jack and Cokes.). We ordered calamari which was ok. A lot of it tasted mostly of deep fried breading. Plus I can't vouch for the portion since mixed in was a bunch of potato chips. Thought that was strange. A ploy to charge more money for less product? Maybe....we did see food coming out of the kitchen that looked good. I will try this place again if we decide to go to a movie there. read more

The only reason I am giving 1 star is because ZERO is not an option. This was our third visit and by far the worst. It took 45 minutes for us to get our food. Four tables that came in AFTER we had already ordered received their entire orders long before we received ours. The wait staff completely ignored us, they didn't check on us for drink refills or anything. After 35 minutes we had to flag someone down to inquire about our food order. When the food did finally come out the breading on the fish was soggy and undercooked. Uptown Lounge's solution for such terrible service was a dessert coupon and a whole $2.10 off a $30+ bill. Terrible service from what we had previously enjoyed as a great local hangout. read more

Love this place. The service is wonderful the management is engaging. Little pricey but you get what you pay for.

My choice place for food and drinks. Never had a bad meal and atmosphere is fantastic, servers are wonderful.

Wow! My friend and I came for drinks and food before a movie. Place was packed! We had the best drinks and the food was so good. Our server suggested the truffle fries, best fries I've ever had! Service was great. I will be back! read more
